hO morning call. VoL X No. 46. SENATOR BACON’S WORK The Second Georgia Will Not Be Mustered Out- Washington, Oct. 28 —Senator Ba* coo, of Georgia, today obtained the content of tbe president to the Second I Georgia volunteer regiment remaining io tbe United States service. Senator Bacon was accompanied by Colonel Oscar J. Brown and Captain Wilcoxon, of tbe Second Georgia. Tbe First and Second Georgia regi ments wire ordered mustered ont some lime ago, but a large number of . men in both regiments preferred to remain in tbe service Tbe order of the president will allow tbe men of both regiments who want to go ont to do go, while those who wish to remain can go in the Second. Il is thought there will be mere men than vacancies in tbe regiment. Attempt Highway Robbery- Yesterday morning Chief of Police E. I. Ison received a telegram from Forsyth stating that a desperate negro from that vicinity was being pursued by tbe sheriff and a posse, and was headed for Griffin. Chief Ison at once notified his men, but no one answering to the description given in the' mes sage was seen. The negro went to the home of Mr. James M Smith and demanded of bis wife tbe surrender of all the money in tbe house. The negro was driven away by tbe alarm given by Mrs. Smith. If caught be will be taught a lesson not soon to be forgotten. War Taxes Likely to Remain- Secretary of tbe Treasury Gage gives but little hope that the war taxes will soon become a thing of the past. As be views tbe future the expenses of tbe country must be greater than ever before. The billion dollar Congress will be outdone. Expenditure on tbe navy, both in construction of new ves seis and in the increased cost of main tenance, and on tbe army with its probably trebled strength, will necessi tate appropriations that will surpass tbe maximum set by the Republican House several years ago. Tbe contem plated expansion of territory will add many millions to the annual budget of expenses. The income from the “colonies" will not for years, perhaps never, reach tbe outlay caused by their possession. Secretary Gage is aware of the un popularity of internal revenue taxes of tbe character required by the recent war. Business men and the public generally, while willing to pay them to meet current expenses of the war, will find them extremely objectionable if collected for many years after the war has passed into history. Ten years after tbe close of the civil war similar taxes were in force, and some were not removed until several years later than that. Tbe expenses of that war, con tinuing for four years, and those of the little brush with Spain are hardly to be considered together. If the income from the new taxes averages as stated, 110,000,000 a month, the receipts in less than a year would be adequate to meet tbe financial demands caused by tberwar which were not otherwise pro vided for. When it is remembered that $200,000,000 of bonds were issued to defray tbe expenses of the war, the actual amount needed from the addi tional taxes to meet all the immediate requirements would probably be but $100,000,000, or tbe gross returns from the new taxes for ten months. There ia but little consolation to be derived by business interests from re cently expressed views of Secretary Gage. As he sees tbe outlook, tbe ex penses of the government must rapid ly increase. “Fighting establishments post money in proportion to their else,” say he, “and tbe colonial system will call fur heavy expenditures. It oost’s mbre obvionJy to run a large machine than a small one.” Tbe colonial expansion policy is likely to prove a costly luxry. The people must foot the bills, no matter What their proportions.

Malaria Has More Victime Than Any Other Disease Which is Known. Malaria claims more victims than any other disease The annual aggre gate runs into several millions A scientific commission has been ap pointed to investigate the mode of dissemination of malarial poison. Tbe poison is, in fact, a minute par asite that attaches itself to tbe blood corpuscles. Seen under a microscope, it rembles at first a fugus fixed to ths round cell of the corpuscle The fugus eats its way into the healthy cell and finally leaves it sbriv eled and bloodless. Hence tbe pallor so noticeable in persons that have suffered much from this disease; the corpuscles that give color to the blood have been largely destroyed by the malarial parasite. Tbe life history of tbe bacillus after it has entered the human frame is well known to doctors. Much is known of its previous histo ry. But a link is missing. How is its transfer from the soil to man accom plished? This the commission is to investigate. There are many theories. The pois on is believed to enter the system both in the air respired by the lungs and in the food and water taken in by the stomach <■ Water drinking is regarded in many malarious counties as tbe most fre* quent form of infection and it is the practice to boil all water before imbib ing it in order to kill the germs. At night, over low lying valleys, a heavy mist will rise, which seems in very truth to be a deadly miasma. This white shroud of malarial fog has gained for many a valley in many a land tbe ill-omened appellation of tbe valley of death. No one who has experienced such an atmosphere, with its sticky smell of rotting, vegetation and a ghostly, close clinging chill which penetrates through the warmest garments, will ever forget it. A London fog is genial weather compared to it. Tbe latest theory is that malaria is disseminated by mosquitoes. These plaguing insects rise from the swamps and lowlying lands, and it is contend ed that they carry in their bodies a germ of malaria which they deposit m the flesh of tbe human creature whom they delight to torment. This theory is to be carefully inquired into. Malaria ravages every land within tbe tropics, and many in more teper ate climates. Hitherto no systematic investigation of the causation of tbe fever has been conducted. And yet no greater boon could be given to the world than a safeguard against a disease which not only brings death to millions, but where it does not actually kill leaves behind it misery and wasted lives.—London Mail.

The Race Issue in North Carolina- Every thoughtful and humane citi zen, from one end of the country to the other, will be appalled by tbe prospect now discernible in North Carolina. It is no longer possible to believe that tbe clamor of tbe whites is merely a revival of tbe old Demo cratic trick to catch votes and ride into official place and perquisites. On tbe contrary, we are confronted with tbe admissions cf prominent republi cans to tbe effect that tbe question is far deeper and more vital—that it is, in fact, a question of simple civilisa tion. Tbe issue involves tbe preser vation of enlightened institutions, of honest government, of law and order, of the integrity of tbe Caucasian race. It is an issue that can have but oue termination. —Washington 4*oeL CASTOR IA For ififants and Children. ThWY«Hm*lwi|i Bapt Bears the msfcee ttwieed bm*. -MmmmmJMMsm. w ROY Al feMCMM POWDER CO., MW YORK* Fate of the French. In the impending struggle between Great Britain and France it takes no prophet to foretell tbe result in case war is actually resorted to for the set tlement of.the differences between tbe two countries. Tbe people of Great Britain have every advaotkpe and the contest will be of short duration. Governed by wise and well adminis tered laws, the hearts of the British people are cemented together with ties of brotherhood and comradeship that render them almost invincible by flood or field. Theirs is today the strongest government, in many respects, on tbe face of tbe globe. Ou the other hand, tbe fickle French populace can never be depended upon in an emergency. While war is going on abroad, there is strong probability of internal dissensions at borne, and a people divided among themselves con stitute an easy prey to the foreign foe. The public has not got over tbe Dreyfus affair yet, and it io likely to become a potent factor in the fate of the French republic. It was a piece of military despotism that consigned Captain Dreyfus to exile on Devil’s is land, and tbe people will not submit long to tyranny of any sort in a nation so enlightened as the French. A disunited people will cut a sorry figure io combat with a nation whose every citizen has an abiding faith in teaatrength and integrity of his gov* ernment. England is today more democratic than France is republican, so far as tbe right* of her citizens are concerned, and should war be declared it will take but a short while to dem onstrate tbe superiority of tbe loyal legions of Britain over tbe dissatisfied squadrons of Gaul,—Brunswick Times.
